The show has been contracted to ITV until the end of 2019, this is what I was told by the ITV Press Office. Remember ITV Studios make the show, but it can be sold to another network if they wished.

IAC would have to fall to sub 3m for ITV to even consider axing it. I suspect it's far too expensive for anyone else to take on.

1) The chances of ITV Studios letting another channel to poach a 10m+ rating programme from ITV are zero.
2) Even if ITV Studios was feeling like cutting its own throat, there is an option for ITV to renew with first refusal.
3) Ant & Dec or even Holly & Dec would not come with the deal.
4) The introduction of new titles would have little bearing on a new contract.
Cando, Brekkie and DE88 gave kudos

A new title sequence is not needed. If it aint broke don't fix it, like The Graham Norton Show's title sequence, has remained virtually the same since 2007. I don't see any big changes to the appearance of the show in 2019.

I thought QI would never change its title sequence, it was updated for HD, it was kept on when Sandi Toksvig took over, but for the latest series they've introduced a (much inferior) new title sequence. So I assume with shows that have kept the same titles for a long time, that a change is brought on by a change in production (e.g. 4:3 to 16:9, SD to HD) or someone just wants to freshen things up.

FWIW if any show needs a new title sequence it's Homes Under the Hammer…

Yikes, I just looked that up. It's nasty, so cheap looking.

Presumably it did switch from SD to HD at some point during the life of these titles.

No title sequence lasts forever - no matter how good it is.

Grange Hill's comic book, Tomorrow's World's fried egg and ball bearings - both bona fide classics, but had they lasted into this century they would have looked pretty tired as well as dated.

The current Corrie and Emmerdale sequences - in use since 2010 and 2011 respectively - will in all likelihood continue into the 2020s, but will start to tire at some point in that decade, IMO.

And similar things can be said for the current IAC sequence.

There’s a bit where it seems to slow down as if watching a video on an old computer that can’t keep up.

Do they still have that old CRT telly in the title sequence?

I don’t think the opening titles need to be changed, they are pretty iconic now, and are better than the previous versions.

Interesting choice of celebs doing the trial tomorrow, giving the quieter celebs air time rather than picking on the same view, isn’t the usual way the public votes go. I thought Noel would have been involved in one way or another.
